Blank Gift Tag SVG

About this design

This is the classic gift tag. It has a long rectangular shape with clipped corners at the top and a round string hole near the top, just like the tags you find in a stationery store. The whole tag is blank, ready for a name, a “To and From” or a short message.

The tag is one connected piece with a single cut-out, the string hole. The shape is simple and bold, so it passes our cut checks from just 1.5 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 1.5 inches tall. For gift tags, 3 to 4 inches gives room to write. For bookmarks, 6 inches. Kraft, white and colored cardstock are all easy to write on.

Step by step: a set of gift tags

1. Set the tag to 3.5 inches tall and download the solid style.
2. Cut a dozen from kraft, red and green cardstock.
3. Write “To” and “From” on each one.
4. Thread twine or ribbon through the string hole.
5. Tie them to wrapped gifts.

Color ideas

• Green with gold string, the classic
• Kraft with red twine for a rustic look
• White with a red ribbon
• Gold with a white ribbon for an elegant gift

Design notes

The clipped top corners are what make the tag instantly recognizable. They also give the string hole a natural place to sit, centered between them.

Good to know

For printed tags, download the PNG, add your text in your design software and print a sheet. Then cut around the outline with Print Then Cut. It is the fastest way to label a big pile of gifts.

Paper choices

Heavy cardstock, around 80 to 110 lb, makes the sturdiest tags. Kraft paper gives a rustic look, and white or cream tags look crisp on colored wrapping. Use a gold or silver gel pen for writing on dark tags.

Choosing a size

At 1.5 to 2 inches, it suits mini tags on small gifts. At 3 to 4 inches, it fits standard gift tags. At 6 inches and up, it works as a bookmark or a large label.

Variations to try

• Add “To” and “From” lines in your software before cutting.
• Slice an initial out of the tag in your cutting software.
